Manny’s Thoughts! No. 119

Welcome back to Manny’s Thoughts! From Manny Montreal! Congrats to Eleider Alvarez, who scored a defining win in stopping Lucian Bute in Quebec City! What we need to see now is Adonis Stevenson, slated to likely fight Sean Monaghan in April, finally face “Storm” in Montreal no later than September! Full respect to the great Lucian Bute, a fighter who has made unmatched contributions to boxing in our great city of Montreal! We support him no matter what he does next! Francis Lafreniere does it again and wins an all-action slugfest against a game and rugged opponent! Big fights for him on the horizon! Congrats to Dario Bredicean, Sebastien Bouchard and Adam Braidwood, the charismatic heavyweight who stole the show! Deontay Wilder defended his title against Gerald Washington and now has to fight… Bermane Stiverne?! Let’s hope Bermane is healthy and firing on all cylinders for this one!

The Fight City

Montreal is The Fight City. Known in years past as "Sin City" and "Babylon on the St. Lawrence", it saw more than its share of ring legends over the decades. A metropolis where hundreds of young warriors train and battle each day in its many gyms, it is where Archie Moore, Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran and Bernard Hopkins all found greatness. It is a city of fights and fighters, of hockey and heroes, of broken dreams and immortal glory, a city unlike any other. Montreal is The Fight City.
